DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS

By way of example, and referring to FIG. 1A, one embodiment of the engine propulsion system comprises cannon 10 which is a housing for firing pin 12. Firing pin 12 comprises firing pin outer casing 11 which is mechanically coupled to cannon 10 such that second pressure media input 74 can insert second pressure media into second pressure cannon port entrance 34. Likewise, firing pin outer casing 11 is mechanically coupled to cannon 10 such that first pressure media input 63 can insert first pressure media into first pressure cannon port entrance 32 and first pressure port to charge channel 54 can insert first pressure media into first pressure port to charge 56. First pressure media and second pressure media are simply terms used to show that these two pressures are different. Either could be greater than the other and the system would still function.

Firing pin 12 receives and then ejects second pressure media in order to transmit mechanical energy. The media is first collected in the reservoir from the energy tubing that houses a plurality of turbines, which when turned from the flow of media, which charges the system's battery. The media is pumped through a filter with a pump powered by a separate engine and is then conditioned for pressurization and safety by pushing the media through filters, a check valve, a pressure intensifier and safety relief valve, which the whole system can also include at least one double block and bleed valve or a plurality of double block and bleed valves. In some embodiments, there is at least one check valve, but in other embodiments there can be a plurality of check valves. In some embodiments, there is at least one pressure intensifier, but in other embodiments there can be a plurality of pressure intensifiers. In some embodiments, there is at least one safety relief valve, but in other embodiments there can be a plurality of safety relief valves.

The media is then stored for compression in the system's accumulators. In some embodiments there is at least one accumulator, but in other embodiments there may be a plurality of accumulators. The accumulators which may be of different types such as bladder, piston, gas, etc. Once in the accumulators the second pressure regulator and the first pressure regulator are pressurized and the central processing unit (CPU) and a local processing unit (PU) command the system and individual cannon 10 system solenoids to fire the media from the firing pin 12 through the cannon exit causing propulsion. Both the CPU and PU function by executing processor instructions. In some embodiments, this can occur in a closed media propulsion system, which is defined as a system with a fixed amount of media either actively engaged in the system or in the reservoir. In some embodiments, this can occur in an open media propulsion system, which is defined as a system where media can enter and leave the system. In some embodiments there can be at least one solenoid. In other embodiments, there can be a plurality of solenoids. Where there are a plurality of cannons 10 and a plurality of solenoids each solenoid must have a connected cannon such that the solenoid can direct the connected cannon as to when to fire.

FIGS. 1B, 2, 3 and 4 show firing pin 12 in more detail. Firing pin 12 comprises firing pin stern 16 mechanically coupled to first firing pin stern seal 22 and second firing pin stern seal 22. Firing pin stern 16 is mechanically coupled to firing pin stem 28. Firing pin stem 28 is further mechanically coupled to firing pin obstruction cylinder 26. Firing pin obstruction cylinder 26 is connected to hat 38. Hat 38 is perforated by firing pin cylinder ports for second pressure media 44. Hat 38 is mechanically coupled to firing pin sail bumper 20 with firing pin sail seal 14. Firing pin sail bumper 20 is attached to firing pin tube 18 which is hollow and comprises a channel. Firing pin tube 18 is mechanically coupled to tube seal 58 proximate tube media exit 42. The seals operate to ensure that the media makes a controlled exit from the cannon at an exit port. A controlled exist is one that is parallel to the direction of intended force, and uncontrolled exit, or explosion, occurs when media is dispersed randomly in a direction other than that parallel to desired force.

Firing pin stern 16 takes the shape of a modified cube, or cylinder, which can move slight lightly within firing pin outer casing 11 toward and away from end cap 24 which is mechanically coupled to firing pin outer casing 12. Firing in outer casing 12 is perforated with second pressure cannon port entrance 34 which permits second pressure media to enter firing pin 12 as indicated above. However, each side of firing pin outer casing 11 proximate second pressure cannon port entrance 34 is mechanically coupled to outer seal 64 to keep the second pressure media from otherwise entering firing pin 12.

To contrast, the lower pressure inlet is designed in a slightly different manner to minimize moving parts and ensure efficiency. Firing pin outer casing 11 is perforated with first pressure port to fire 32 which can allow first pressure media to enter the channel. First pressure port to fire 32 is surrounded by main shaft seal 30 and outer seal 64 to ensure that first pressure media is directed into the channel and not elsewhere.

A second first pressure inlet is designed to charge the system as shown in more detail in FIG. 5. Firing pin outer casing 11 is perforated with first pressure port to charge channel 56 which can allow first pressure media to enter the channel. First pressure port to charge channel 56 is surrounded by main shaft seal 30 and outer seal 64 to ensure that first pressure media is directed into the channel and not elsewhere.

FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show the firing pin firing sequence. When firing pin stern 16 is distant end cap 24, the CPU sends a signal to allow the solenoid to activate the first pressure media through first pressure port to charge channel 56 enabling media transfer to push firing pin stern 16 proximate end cap 24. Once firing pin stern 16 is proximate end cap 24, the firing pin is charged. Firing pin 12 cannot be prematurely discharged because hat 38 is surrounded by hat seal 40 which prevents movement of media.

Once the firing pin is charged the CPU sends a signal to allow the solenoid to activate the transfer of first pressure media through first pressure cannon port entrance 32. This pushes firing pin obstruction cylinder away from end cap 24. This allows a greater amount of pressurized media to pressurize the firing pin causing the firing pin to fire. Finally, the second pressure media pushes firing pin obstruction cylinder 26 past hat 38 allowing second pressure media to discharge through tube media exit 42.

FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 offer one embodiment of how to user cannon 10. Cannon 10 is mechanically coupled to turbine blades 36 which turn turbine shaft 48 inside of a sealed turbine enclosure 50. Turbine shaft 48 could be used to turn turbine/generator systems 52 or a series of turbine/alternator systems as shown in FIG. 10 or for any other purpose. Turbine shaft 48 is an example of an axel that is used in a turbine, but other kinds of axels can be used as well.

An electronic propulsion system or electronic system is mechanically coupled to the energy propulsion system configured to determine when each cannon 10 is configured to fire and then reload. A surface such as turbine blades 36 is mechanically coupled to each cannon wherein each cannon firing moves the surface. The surface is sealed and covered in order to prevent injury which otherwise could be caused by exposure to the surface. The surface is utilized to transmit mechanical energy.

This can also be viewed as a process for transmitting mechanical energy on a rotating device. The process has the following steps which are not necessarily in order: first, directing a propulsion device towards the rotating device. The propulsion device can be cannon 10 and the rotating device can be the turbine with turbine blades 36 attached to turbine shaft 48. Next, pushing a media from the propulsion device creating a force. The force moves the rotating device transmitting the mechanical energy.

In some embodiments the turbine can be attached to a generator/alternator. In some embodiments there is at least one alternator, but in other embodiments there may be a plurality of alternators. In some embodiments there is at least one generator, but in other embodiments there may be a plurality of generators. In some embodiments, there is at least one motor, but in other embodiments there may be a plurality of motors.

In some embodiments the turbine can be attached to cannon 10. In some embodiments there is at least one cannon 10, but in other embodiments there may be a plurality of cannons 10. In some embodiments, the plurality of cannons can share at least one exit port.

FIG. 11 shows another use in automobile 60. Here many turbines can be used to turn shaft 62 and thus wheels 66 either individually or in concert as determined by the CPU.

FIG. 12 shows another embodiment containing an energy generation tubing designed to charge battery 70. Second pressure media input 74 surrounds medium 72 which turns a series of turbine/generator systems 52 which in turn charge battery 70 with electrical power. As used in this application, a generator means a device that generates power, whether it be by alternating current or direct current.

FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 show an alternate embodiment involving wheel 66.

Each wheel contains a media that covers turbine blades 36 mechanically such that each wheel can spin on its own without powering a shaft as in FIG. 11. Likewise, the CPU can act as a controller.

FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 show another embodiment of the present invention using jet engine 76. Jet engine 76 comprises medium cavity 78 mechanically coupled to cavity divider 80. One side of cavity divider 80 is mechanically coupled to turbine blades 82. The other side of cavity divider 80 is mechanically coupled to a plurality of cannons 10. Cannons 10 turn cavity divider 80 and thus turbine blades 82 creating propulsion. In some embodiments, a de Laval Nozzle can be utilized with a gas source to enable spaceflight. In other embodiments, any electronic propulsion nozzle can be used.

FIG. 17, FIG. 18, FIG. 19, FIG. 20, FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 show various views of rotational firing pin 84. Rotational firing pin 84 comprises stern 86 connected to obstruction cylinder 88 with stem 90. Stern 86 is further mechanically coupled to turn shaft 102. Stern 86 further comprises at least one firing shafts 98 each connected to at least one charge shaft 96 and is sealed with stern seal 22. Obstruction cylinder 88 further comprises a plurality of the firing shafts 98.

Turning to FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, rotational firing pin 84 is housed in outer casing 92. Outer casing 92 comprises second pressure cannon port entrance 34. Second pressure cannon port entrance 34 is configured to permit media through second pressure input port 94. Each side of outer casing 92 proximate a second pressure input port is mechanically coupled to outer seal 64 to keep the second pressure media from otherwise entering rotational firing pin 84. Likewise each side of obstruction cylinder 88 proximate the plurality of firing shafts 98 is mechanically coupled to hat seal 40 to prevent unwanted discharge of the second pressurized media through a location other than firing shaft 98. The media is discharged through outer casing firing port 100.

FIGS. 23 and 24 further demonstrate the rapid firing sequence of rotational firing pin 84. Second pressure media is inserted through second pressure input port 94, and down charge shaft 96 pressurizing a chamber surrounding some of obstruction cylinder 88 and rotational firing pin stem 90. The pressure second pressure media is discharged through at least one firing shaft 98 causing obstruction cylinder 88, firing pin stem 90, firing pin stern 86 and thus turn shaft 102 to rotate thus transmitting mechanical energy by turn shaft 102 that can be used for a variety of purposes.

In some embodiments there can be at least one rotational firing pin 84. In other embodiments there can be a plurality of rotational firing pins 84.

FIG. 25 shows a logic pattern for operating an embodiment of the invention in acceleration mode. To accelerate the engine comprising firing pins as otherwise indicate, the CPU calculates the stored energy available and determines the additional energy needed to accelerate. This additional energy can be obtained by faster activation of first pressure media entrance LP1 and first pressure media entrance LP2. As a result the firing pin firing rate or the cannon firing rate will increase. The CPU will have access to calculate and display the time until the stored energy is depleted. That is, under the second law of thermodynamics, the pressure in the system will decrease slightly over time due to entropy and require some external pressurization from pumps as noted above.

FIG. 26 shows a logic pattern for operating an embodiment of the invention in deceleration mode. Deceleration involves reducing the firing rate. This involves a bit of the laws of motion as well as a bit of thermodynamics. As the firing rate decreases the firing rate decreases but the energy being done on the system as a whole also decreases. Likewise reinvigorating the system requires some external energy. So, the time until the energy store is full is calculated and displayed by the CPU. Likewise, the rate needed to start increasing the stored energy is also calculated and displayed. If the operating rate is less than or equal to the rate to increase stored energy then if the first stored energy value at a first time is equal to the second stored energy value at a second time then an error is displayed. If not, no error is displayed.

Where a plurality of rotational firing pins 84 are used, the rotational firing pins 84 be constantly fired with bursts of second pressure media. This is a synchronized mode of operation where the rotational firing pins 84 are fired at the same time without charging. In an alternating mode of operation, rotational firing pins 84 are charged then fired in an alternating manner. In some embodiments the alternating mode of operation can be accomplished with at least one step motor.

FIG. 27 and FIG. 28 show to operate a plurality of cannons 10 in parallel. First left firing pin 12 is arranged in series with first right firing pin 12. This can be accomplished by attaching first left firing pin casing 11 to second left firing pin casing 11. First pressure media can enter into first left firing pin casing 11 through first pressure media entrance LP1. Likewise, first pressure media can enter into first right firing pin casing 11 through first pressure media entrance LP2. Media is compressed and exits through a media exit centrally located between the two firing pins 12. Additional firing pins 12 can be added as desired. In some situations a plurality of canons 10 can be installed in channel block 104 which directs the media into channels between the plurality of cannons 10. In FIG. 27, the plurality of cannons 10 have more than one exit port. In FIG. 28, the plurality of cannons 10 have a single exit ports.

FIG. 29 shows how increasing pressure will also increase flow rate of the system. FIG. 30 shows how charging the system with greater static pressure can result in more work done by the system.

In some situations, springs can provide additional work resulting in additional efficiency for the system. For instance in FIG. 31, firing pin stern 16 is mechanically coupled to large spring 106, which is further mechanically coupled to firing pin outer casing 11. Likewise in FIG. 32, first pressure port to charge 56 is replaced with small spring 108, using spring force, as opposed to hydraulic force for the same affect.

In FIG. 33, outer casing 92 is perforated with turn shaft 102. Turn shaft 112 is mechanically coupled to gear 112. Motor 110 creates mechanical energy which can be used to turn gear 112. Mechanical energy from motor 110 can be used to turn another shaft 102 as in FIG. 34 or to turn a generator to create electrical power as in FIG. 35. As shown in FIGS. 36 and 37, magnetic flux can be imparted onto shaft 102 or firing pin stern 16 to further increase system efficiency.
